Anderson suits up against OKC, Splitter in street clothes

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said at his pre-game interview that rookie guard James Anderson will return to the lineup Wednesday night against Oklahoma City with Tiago Splitter still in street clothes as he receovers from a strained left hamstring.

Popovich said he had no definite plans on Anderson’s place in the rotation Wednesday night.

“He’s just a perimeter player,” Popovich said. “If we need him … if we’re getting our butts kicked by 20 or we’re kicking butt by 20 he’ll probably go in. If somebody is in foul trouble he might get in earlier. If we’re playing poorly, I might throw him out there to see if he can energize us. I just want to see what the situation is. I don’t have a pre-determined plan.”
